    Scour

    The image is on page 66 of the Jan 1982 edition. I finally got into the right stowage box to find the article by Hume. I would post the image that I scanned and downloaded. However, rookie that I am, I cannot figure out how to load it to this post (need to produce an url which scanning does not...

    The English Snaphance Lock

    Brian Godwin, for my monies worth, and I have books by all the greats, is the new C. Blair, Hayward, Blackmore, et al. Godwin is to be quoted, cited, and referenced in all matters attendant to English lock types. Just sayin'

    Scour

    :headslap: Maybe. Sure wish I had not lost that article from a NGS magazine. I was sure the magazine I quoted was the correct one. Back to the drawing board.I was in my Jamestown/Roanoke era of study. At any rate, the gist of the article was that Hume had to go to Graz arsenal to get an idea of...

    Scour

    Ivor Noel Hume addresses the scour in an article about artifacts found at Wolstenholme town with a neat picture of the ramrod scour. NGS Magazine Vol 155No 6 June 1979. I have lost my copy or else would he poste an image or two. Several venders sell the mags online.

    1757 Spanish Musket

    Rick, your radar is as keen as ever. What a great find-and no need to line the barrel. We can count on you to bring us something new ever once in a while. Respectfully, Jerry

    French ANXIII Pistol Mystery

    OOPS, my bad. My brain said "Probably not born that way", however, my fingers didn't follow orders! I even previewed it and still let it go. sheesh

    French ANXIII Pistol Mystery

    Ricky, I see something very familiar on that screw-less hammer. That would be the peening on all four sides of the tumbler shaft to make a tight fit. Probably born that way.

    What's the difference in lock types?

    Greetings from the "arcane" lock crowd. For starters, in a self-start mode, mind you, go here and follow the links. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Miquelet

    Grandpa's old gun...

    Wondered that myself. Have seen many of these locks and nary a one had anything resembling a screw. I have come to believe that the cock jaws are made so as to provide a sort of "springy clamping action," such as illustrated here: [/img]

    Grandpa's old gun...

    Ranchmgr, That lock is South East Asian; Laos, Cambodia, Viet Nam, that area. Usually mounted on a long barreled smoothbore. All very primitive. How it ended up on that little gun should make a most interesting story.

    Does anyone know anything about these two?

    Ricky That information on the Balkan pistol, seems to me, to be spot on. Just for grins, are you by any chance using Robert Elgood's tomes for reference?

    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    Ricky, 1820's seems right. Sort of a Spanish Best much like an English Best. Must have had his hands on a Manton or Egg fowler at some time, eh

    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    Ricky et al Wow, what a difference a good photo makes to the discussion. Jumping to conclusions almost always bites me on the bottom every time. Not only is this lock not butchery, it is ingenious. That frizzen spring, I suspect, was designed that way because there is very little room on the...

    Spanish Miquelet De Erraduras

    Ricky, that lock is quite similiar to the standard Spanish military locks. Spanish military locks often eliminated the jaw screw ring, using a big hole in the ball and/or no hole at all. As is the case with other countries military arms, the brass pan was in much vogue. Go here to see the...
